Traveling in Comfort and Style in New Kensington, PA, Without Compromising your Budget

A City Boasting of Museums, Restaurants, Recreational Centers for Everyone

Like many other cities in the region, the land that the city sits on today was a hunting ground for local natives. It wasn’t until later that Burrell Improvement Company saw the many advantages of building a city here because it was deemed a prime location. Originally, city planners wanted to name the city Kensington, but there was already another city with the name so, ‘New Kensington’ was chosen as the city’s new name. New Kensington was featured in several films and was the backdrop for music videos too, namely P.O.D’s ‘Youth of the Nation’ music video and the film, Dogma.

The city has many different attractions for people of all ages to explore in their charter bus - night spots for a party or bar crawl, playgrounds and parks for the young ones, endless number of restaurants and casual diners for group gatherings, parties or even corporate functions. Affordable, historical landmarks are strategically-located in and around the city’s downtown area, making them perfect wedding venues in Pennsylvania.

US Coachways works with a wide network of charter bus owners, operators, dispatchers and drivers. You can choose from modern, safe and comfortable charter bus, coach charter, mini bus, school bus, party bus, and large luxury vehicles that are ready to help mobilize attendees during your event.
